My longstanding interests include music, the guitar, religion (including mysticism and meditation), the bizzarre (like human marvels and stuff from the Atlas Obscura Kircher Society), the mind and body connection (another area where meditation plays an interesting role), and Philosophy (especially in the area where logic and language meet).
On this blog, I throw out all the fascinating stuff that I’ve found while romping through the areas of my interests. Though I like to write, I don’t have much time or energy to do so as I try to spend most of my free time practising the materials from the Jimmy Bruno Guitar Institute, a site I can’t recommend highly enough and where I’m enrolled as a student. So, most of what you see on this blog will be links to articles and music videos (mostly of guitarists). I hope to share what I have here with guitar enthusiasts all over the world.
Feel free to leave comments on my posts. Seeing comments always brighten up my day. However, I use a very effective spam filter called Askimet to deal with an overwhelming amount of comment spam. If you have left a genuine comment that was not published, this was probably blocked by the spam filter. So, please let me know about your comment via email and I’ll ensure it’s published. Though I tend to reply late, being an excellent procrastinator, I enjoy reading email from readers.

Greetings,
Lennie Breau recorded a 3 hour gig at our high school coffee club in 1966 before heading to Nashville. Incredible stuff, never heard the tapes again. Also some superb B&W photos were taken. Had several for a few years.
I’m in HK and get to Sing regularly.
Regards,
Chuck
